Mission
Building long-term, life-changing relationships with youth, equipping them to thrive and contribute to their community.
Program accomplishments
- Elevate Metro KC (EMKC) programs produce generations of "thriving contributors" who impact the world around them. EMKC does not want kids to just survive through school but thrive in all areas of life. EMKC goes deep into the lives of youth to develop virtues like honesty, diligence, and respect. To achieve this, EMKC hires full-time teacher-mentors who teach classes in character and leadership inside the school and build relationships with students after school and throughout the summer. Additionally, after learning key character traits, the high school students go to the local elementary schools every week to teach the character traits they just learned themselves to fourth and fifth graders. This immediate application instills ownership and responsibility to live out the virtues in their community. By introducing students to positive and caring adults, students gain positive role models, no longer navigating life's toughest challenges alone. This relationship-based, application-infused model is designed to help students grow holistically as they (1) develop social-emotional skills, (2) strengthen their character, (3) positively engage in their community, and (4) experience school success. Elevate Metro KC students at Center High School, Center Middle School and Center Elementary for total of 253 students with plans for expansion. Center School District is one of the more impoverished districts in greater Kansas City.Expenses $320,842
